Game Preview
Ajax must beat Liverpool on Wednesday to stay in the Champions League when the two sides meet at the Johan Cruyff Arena. A point would be enough for the Reds to advance to the next stage with a game to spare, although Jurgen Klopp’s side may need a win if they are to have a chance of overcoming Napoli at the top of Group A.
After beating Rangers 4-0 in their opening match, Ajax looked to have a good chance of reaching the Round of 16 this season. However, three consecutive defeats have left Alfred Schreuder’s side six points behind their next opponents Liverpool with two games remaining, meaning they must beat the 2018-19 champions and hope Napoli do the same on the final day if they are to progress to the next round.
The reigning Eredivisie champions have got back to winning ways domestically, having dropped five points in two games either side of the international break, and have put 15 goals past their rivals in their last three games to open up a four-point gap over PSV Eindhoven at the top of the table.
Elsewhere, Liverpool looked to have turned a corner after beating Manchester City and West Ham, both 1-0, in the last week, but succumbed to a reverse at the expense of a rejuvenated Nottingham Forest at the City Ground on Saturday.
Steve Cooper’s side kept tight, continually forcing their more illustrious opponents to play in wider areas, and Liverpool’s attacking threat was significantly reduced by the injury absences of Luis Diaz, Diogo Jota and Darwin Nunez.
Perhaps most worryingly for Klopp, his side continually conceded high-quality chances to their opponents. Although Alisson Becker is far from being one of the busiest goalkeepers in the Premier League, the statistics show that the average quality of the chances he faces is higher than any of his counterparts in the division this season.
